Coronavirus - are we all doomed?

[moke123]

One overlooked reason for the releases is the protection of the C.O.'s who need to be there to control the real hardcore inmates who will not be released. Another is those who are being held pre-trial and are presumed innocent. Should they be subject to a possible death sentence? Others may be held on technical violations for instance texting their ex-wife in violation of a no contact order. Yes they may have a long criminal record but their current bid may be for something minor. Unfortunately I'm sure a few bad apples will continue to be bad apples.

I'm not anti-gun but I am pro gun control. I carry concealed each and every day and I'm well aware of what I can and cant do while doing so.
I see a few things in that article which hint as to why he was charged. Albeit I am not overly familiar with his local laws ( I think Va. is a SYG, open carry state?) I see a few glaring reasons for him being charged.

In response to the thread title, it would seem that some of us are in spite of what precautions we take. Someone sent me a vid which I have not researched at all but the forum doesn't allow me to add a vid as an attachment so here's a pic from it. Nobody's wearing a mask or gloves, material and product all over the floor. Incredible.

I've said it before. I say it again. I never trust the information released by a government that is based on Communism or Religion.
These type of governments hide the real data from their people, because it's the nature of their existence. If they release the correct news, they would vanish in no time by their own people.

I think the number of infections in both China and Iran are at least 3 or 4 times more than what is reported.

Serious Question...

Should people Social distance from other peoples dogs?

My dog likes to be outside, regardless of weather, as she doesm't want to miss anything going on.
There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood and every owner brings their dog by to say hi to mine.

Today I was near my security camera display and realized that everyone gives her a little love . Some with a little pat on the head and others with a big head scratch. So my paranoia has kicked in realizing my dogs head is no better than a doorknob in this crazy time were going through.

It would drive her crazy to be kept inside and as such she would drive me crazy wanting to go out.

Would it be rude to put a sign in the yard asking people to social distance from her?
I'm sure its something people dont even realize they are doing and I'm trying hard to avoid all risks.

Unfortunately, I have seen credible reports that corona can infect dogs.

Unfortunately nobody cares, the Chinese market is several billion dollars a year for any company willing to do business with them. The Chinese are lauded as heroes for starting the pandemic and then supposedly coming up with solution. It's a joke.

I've seen that too Doc but I guess my neighbors haven't. I'm putting up a sign in the Am.
I guess a simple "Please maintain Social Distance from Malibu" should do the trick.
I'm just worried that someone petting her and then her snuggling with me can be an avenue of transmission.
Much like people walking in their house without taking their shoes off and putting their baby down on the carpet.
These are crazy times.

I never understand why American doesn't change their shoes when they come back home. I've never been to States and I'm not sure whether they do the same in real life or not, but from what I see from the movies they wear the same shoes inside and outside their house. I've even seen scenes where they go to bed with the same shoes.
For us it's unbelievable. They're simply carrying the dirt from outside to their bed.

You must have been watching Animal House! I can't imagine any normal person going to bed with their shoes on, let alone their street shoes.
I wear slippers inside and shoes outside. In my little shop, it's an old pair of shoes that come off at the top of the basement stairs.

Malibu is not happy with my sign.

A lot of movies and shows. Almost any movie when a teenager brings his/her friend to his home.

Who The Hell Wears Shoes On The Bed?

Time to kickoff this very important discussion.

Well, that explains it - teenagers! (just kidding).
You would not believe everything that is posted on the internet, no? Don't think for one minute that anything you see in movies is typical behaviour. Sometimes it is just the director or writer expressing a bias about something. In this case it could be his/her thinking that teenagers are basically ignorant, ill-mannered, whatever. NOTE I'm not saying those are my sentiments, just that it might be something the director is trying to portray. You are right to wonder, but I would caution against believing everything you see.

Not sure you can equate "movies" with anything meaningful. Unless it's a documentary, I have seen ton's of moves where samurai flying.

Americans never go to the toilet either

 

[AccessBlaster]

Are they wearing jetpacks?

I know out of all the examples I had to choose from.

They are just LIKELY to contribute to your demise.

speaking of the word DEMISE, there are many people here that might fall into that boat. but the older people are probably safe, as they have learned self control already.
